Babson Build – Graduate (GSB, Posgraduate students)
From July 14 to July 20, 2024
- Entrepreneurial Thought & Action® best describes the mindset and behaviors of entrepreneurs who can think and act not only as a rational scientist but also as someone who can lead and navigate creatively in uncertain environments. Entrepreneurs understand that the traditional scientific method of analyzing and then acting does not always work when faced with business problems in an environment that has high levels of uncertainty. It requires a mode of thinking long popularized by serial entrepreneurs and innovators—to act, learn, and build. This is the essence of ET&A™—to act your way into tackling unknown problems with unknown solutions.
